A message from your Laura, your Evidence Based Birth® Instructor:

In 2002 we learned we were going to be parents. We were excited, and anxious to be good parents from the very start. I read, continued exercising, ate carefully, faithfully went to all of my OB appointments, hired a doula, took prenatal yoga classes... I was possibly in the best shape of my life, and certainly happier than ever. But my hopes and expectations for my birth crumbled when my labor had me exhausted after more than 24 hours, but not close to meeting our baby. Worn out and frustrated, I accepted each offered intervention, and when they caused so many side effects that at one point nurses couldn't find my pulse, my birth ended up in the operating room, where the professionals chatted about vacations and golf games, not updating me even when my son wasn't breathing and had to be resuscitated.

Like so many parents, we didn’t know what questions to ask or how to decide when to say yes and when to ask for time to consider our options. We’d taken a thorough childbirth class. We knew what to expect in a typical labor. We didn’t know how to navigate anything other than typical, though. We didn’t know that my OB’s high cesarean rate increased my risk of surgical birth. We didn’t know that we had the right to be informed about our son’s care.

In the past decade and a half, I’ve worked to positively impact birth, one family at a time. I am so excited to be able to broaden that impact through the Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class!

And as my now 97-year-old grandmother will tell you, memories from your birth experiences stay with you, forever.
